Custom Water Glass | Faux Water Feature | Mercy Hospital Temporary Public Art

Quiet Water is a cast glass composite created during Jarvi’s 2019 Atrium Health Artist-in-Residence at McColl Center for Art + Innovation. Inspired by outdoor waters that reflect greens in nature and healing, each cast glass round is unique… yet, has a similar color palette.

Quiet Water was originally made for a temporary public art "faux water feature" at Mercy Hospital's Healing Garden. (Mercy Hospital is a Planetree certified hospital that is patient-centered. This was installed in interior access, outdoor garden. Because of deep greens, the exterior location and slope of the ground, it was impossible to stage a decent location shot.)

Artist had Mitchell Kearney Photography shoot the final 8 glass rounds in his studio — following three shots. What’s very cool is the one odd green water glass has so much blue, it reminds one of our own blue planet!

Like all Jarvi glass composites, Quiet Water can be custom arranged for each space displayed. However, it’s meant to be shown on a lower pedestal so one can gaze into the water-inspired glass.
